"Large-scale spread, millions of people affected?" Xue Jingruo murmured, her pupils tightening: "Xu'er, do you think it's true?"
"Mother, I think it's you who should go out today."
"Children are weak and even if they know it, they can't do anything."
"The only one who can save them now is you."
"My child, I beg you, mother, to save the people of Jijun, Xishan, okay?"
Lin Xu stood up with determination on his face.
Dongchang cannot be exposed, otherwise it is unclear whether those people can be saved, or Xue Rong will rebound strongly.
At that time, we still need to concentrate on dealing with them. When everything settles, the disaster may be over.
He can wait, but the people cannot wait.
Unless various departments coordinate and jointly provide disaster relief, only Xue Rong can currently do this.
"The Ai family will send someone to investigate. If the situation is true, they will not sit idly by." Xue Jingruo said, looking at the food on the table: "It happens that the Ai family didn't eat either, so let's eat together with you!"
With that said, under Lin Xu's astonished eyes, he picked up the remaining half of his bowl of rice and started eating.
Xue Jingruo is not like a man, with rough skin and thick flesh, and he has lived in the palace for a long time, so he is not used to eating this kind of food.
After a while, a faint trace of blood flowed from the edge of the jade lips.
"Queen mother, your mouth is bleeding!! Don't eat."
Lin Xu has used you. No matter what happened in the past, at this moment, I really admire her.
"The common people in the world can eat, the emperor can eat, why can't the Ai family eat!"
"Perhaps it's true as you said, even this chaff can't be eaten by countless people."
As Xue Jingruo ate, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned red.
It is not rice bran that causes pain in the mouth and abdomen.
But think of the people.
The former emperor's tyranny, various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, wine pools and meat forests, made the people miserable.
Xue Jingruo wanted to change, but as a prostitute, what could she do to change?
So she followed her family's arrangements, became the queen, adopted the young Lin Xu, and helped the Xue family control the entire country.
Since then, imperial power has been subverted, and the current emperor has become a puppet.
I thought the people would live a good life,
But looking at it now, it hasn't changed at all.
If that's the case, what's the point of her controlling the emperor? What's the difference between the Xue family and the late emperor?
Even in the end, it was the puppet emperor who had been the emperor for fifteen years who petitioned for the people.
Could it be that she has been wrong all these years?
If Xu'er had been given power earlier, would the outcome have been different?
Before she knew it, she had eaten all of the small half bowl of rice.
At this time, Xue Jingruo's face suddenly turned pale, and her jade hands grasped her abdomen. I just feel a sharp pain, as if my intestines are tumbling and fighting.
For someone who was used to fine food and clothing, this half bowl of rice was like a chronic poison.
Lin Xu stepped forward and gently tapped the back of Xue Jingruo's neck. Xue Jingruo immediately lost strength and passed out.
He immediately put his hand on his lower abdomen and used internal force to help digestion.
Xue Jingruo must be okay. Judging from her actions just now, she is indeed not from the same family as the Xue family.
The more she falls ill, the more suffering the people will have.
So no matter what, he had to take action.
Soon, he withdrew his hand.
The food in Xue Jingruo's belly has been crushed by his internal force, and he can recover after resting for one night.
"Come here, the Queen Mother is asleep. Send her back to the palace."
Not long after Xue Jingruo left, there was a knock on the palace door, and then Bai Ye walked in: "Your Majesty, the person in charge of Jiuli Pavilion has been brought here. Do you want her to come in?"
"Xuan!"
Lin Xu sat on the dragon chair and continued to eat.
He usually eats two bowls with each meal. He only ate half of the bowl just now, and Xue Jingruo ate the rest, so he had to fill another bowl.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the emperor and the queen mother would fight over a bowl of rice bran rice.
If this were to spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.
A beautiful figure walked to the table from outside and said in a clear voice: "You Jiuli, the daughter of the people, is here to see your majesty!"
"How dare you not kneel down when you meet the Holy One?" Bai Ye shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Women of the common people do not kneel to heaven or to the ground, nor do they kneel to their parents at home!"
You Jiuli's eyes were lowered, her voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and she couldn't hear any emotion.
Lin Xu paused, put down his bowls and chopsticks, and walked over.
"look up!"
You Jiuli remained motionless and seemed not to hear.
"I order you to raise your head!!"
Lin Xu's voice was calm, and a hint of chill flashed in his eyes.
You Jiuli sighed softly, and finally raised her eyes, revealing a beautiful and delicate face.
The skin is like cream, and the lips are rosy.
Wearing a long black dress, her figure is slender, like the bright moon in the sky at night, dazzling and beautiful.
There is a cold temperament all over his body.
Lin Xu's eyes lit up, she was really a beauty.
Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out, but You Jiuli seemed to know it and took two steps back without leaving any trace.
"Your Majesty, common women are looked down upon. You are the most respected person in the world. Don't dirty yourself because of a little girl."
"It's okay, I know how to wash my hands!" Lin Xu chuckled and walked forward directly.
You Jiuli could only keep retreating until her back hit the wall.
Just as she was about to leave, a figure stepped forward and trapped her firmly in this corner.
Lin Xu put one hand on the wall and looked down at the woman in front of him.
As he breathed, a simple and elegant fragrance came over him.
It's You Jiuli's body fragrance.
"Your Majesty, please respect yourself."
Although You Jiuli tried her best to restrain herself, her voice was obviously trembling at this moment.
"What is self-respect? Everything in this world belongs to me, and so do you."
"Didn't you say that you are contemptuous? I will make you a noble concubine. Who will dare to say anything about you then?"
Lin Xu's lips curled up slightly. At this moment, he finally felt the emperor's pleasure.
As for love and liking, as far as the emperor is concerned, it is enough to be attracted by sex.
To resist is to resist the decree, no one dares to disobey.
"Thank you for your kindness, your majesty, but the common girl has no interest in the palace, so please let your majesty let the little girl go."
"After all, a twisted melon isn't sweet!"
"It doesn't matter if it's sweet or not, just quench your thirst." Lin Xu chuckled and slowly approached.
You Jiuli looked dull. As an emperor, how could he say such shameless remarks.
Just when she was stunned, she suddenly felt a man's scent approaching.
Her face changed drastically, and she was about to resist...
"How presumptuous! You dog emperor, let her go!"
There was a loud shout, and then, a dozen black figures suddenly rushed in from outside.
Everyone held sharp blades in their hands, and the cold light made the entire Ningyuan Hall air drop a bit.
Feel the edge coming from your back.
Lin Xu's body flashed, and his big hands took advantage of the situation to hold You Jiuli's slender waist that could not be easily grasped.
Wait for those men in black to react.
Lin Xu sat back on the dragon chair, and You Jiuli sat in his arms with a flushed face. No matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.
"It seems that these are the only ones, take them down!"
Lin Xu looked at the beauty in his arms and smiled evilly. He put his big hands around You Jiuli's waist, and never looked at the men in black from the beginning to the end.
"Emperor Dog, you are seeking death."
The man in black shouted angrily, just about to rush forward.
Dozens of eunuchs suddenly rushed in. Everyone was highly skilled in martial arts. The men in black could not survive a few moves before they were all captured.
Among them, there is an individual whose strength has reached the innate level.
The top-notch Dongchang Factory Guard almost failed to capture him.
In the end, Bai Ye took action, knocking him to the ground with one blow and losing his ability to resist.
